    Not yet he hasn't

    Don't suppose Sevilla fancy signing him this summer and then taking a dive in the European Super Cup?

    We met our coach at the ground at 8am & drove down to Gatwick (got lots of waves & thumbs up along Tot High Rd. as passers by could see all our colours, rosettes & rattles so knew where we were going!) From Gatwick hopped over to Amsterdam followed by a lovely coach trip to Rotterdam. That set us back £10. If we'd gone the shorter route direct to Rotterdam I think it was £6. I have just spent the last couple of hours searching through memorabilia for the original pack with air tickets, details, etc which I know I have but they are illuding me. I believe there were about 4,000 Spurs fans made the trip although not altogether! We had a good few hours to sightsee & shop for souvenirs before the match. As I said before the Dutch people were so nice and seemed to love Spurs. Don't remember much about coming home except it was dark & by the time I got to bed it was the middle of the night. That was my first trip abroad & first flight & I've never forgotten it. I was 21.

    Each side can stay in their own half and the first one to sign Nayim - he scores from the half way line Wins, simple!

    They played there yesterday I believe, but I didn't realise it was from today so they probably came home after the match.

    Weirdly there were no Daily Sneer front pages about people desperately trying to cross the English Channel to reach our green, unpleasant land

    Thanks Maggie, great to hear your memories , my dad went as well he brought my mum a miniature pair of clogs home as a souvenir <laugh> they sat on the mantlepiece for years but my regrets were not asking him more about the trip but I know that his group of friends had an old Bedford van that they went in

    Hate to admit.I only made 2 air trips with Spurs.One to Lisbon and one to Middlesbro (with the Spurs team.) I remember telling Ralph Coates he was brilliant at Boro!....and Chivers free kick bomb got us through in Portugal.I remember the free kick.You saw every Spurs fan there,as we all stood up yelling in amazement!...and shocked we were through.

    Well this is weird: Bayern have had a shot on target and didn't score from it

    There's clinical and then there's asking if you're using an aimbot

    Neuer made some great saves but the final was nowhere near as good as the Europa one the other night.

    As is often the case these days the quality of the officiating left a lot to be desired, both ref and VAR seemed to miss some big decisions.

    PSG’s forwards looked spent, Neymar had a horrific game and Mbappé was awful in front of goal. Bayern worthy champions.

    slightly better than last years

    At least we didn’t have to watch any team park the bus for 89 minutes tonight, like Liverpool did in the final
